Hunter x Hunter is a popular manga series that has been on hiatus for quite some time. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the return of the series, and there have been many rumors and speculations about when it will come back. In this article, we will share everything we know about Hunter x Hunter’s return.
Background of Hunter x Hunter
Hunter x Hunter is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. The manga began serialization in 1998 and has been published in various magazines. The story follows a young boy named Gon Freecss who aspires to become a Hunter, a special and elite class of individuals with unique skills and abilities. Gon is motivated by the desire to find his long-lost father, Ging Freecss, who is also a Hunter.
The Hunter Association is responsible for testing and licensing Hunters, who can pursue various occupations such as treasure hunting, exploration, and even hunting down criminals. Gon sets out on a journey to become a Hunter, encountering various friends and challenges along the way.
Hunter x Hunter is known for its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and complex Nen system – a special energy used by Hunters for various purposes, including combat. The series has been well-received for its storytelling, character depth, and the unpredictable nature of its plot. It has been adapted into multiple anime series, with the most recent adaptation covering a portion of the manga. However, the manga has experienced frequent hiatuses, with the author taking breaks due to health issues. The uncertainty of when new chapters will be released has been a source of frustration and anticipation among fans.
The Hiatus
The series has been on Hiatus for several years due to Togashi’s health issues. Togashi has been suffering from severe back pain, which has made it difficult for him to work on the series. Despite his health issues, Togashi has continued to work on the series, and fans have been eagerly waiting for its return.
The Return of Hunter x Hunter
In October 2022, it was announced that Hunter x Hunter would return on October 23, 2022. The series will receive a simulpub release on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump. Viz Media also announced that Hunter x Hunter Chapter 1-390 is now available in English digitally on Shonen Jump. This means that fans of the series can now read the first 390 chapters of the manga in English on Shonen Jump. The simulpub release on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump means that fans can read the new chapters as soon as they are released in Japan. This is great news for fans who have been eagerly waiting for the return of the series. It’s worth noting that the simulpub release is only available to readers who have a subscription to Viz Media’s Shonen Jump. If you don’t have a subscription, you can still read the new chapters when they are released in the weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
Is there anything to expect from the return of Hunter x Hunter?
There is currently no information about what Chapter 401 may be about. It’s unclear if Chapter 401 would pick up where Chapter 400 ended, or shift to someone else’s perspective. Previously in Hunter x Hunter Chapter 400, Feitan and Phinks bumped into Nobunaga, Melody attended some important meetings and received a romantic confession from Kaiser, Fugetsu seemingly lost herself to the darkness, and Kurapika (who may or may not be married to Leorio) agreed to help Prince Tubeppa. The chapter was a continuation of the Succession Contest Arc, which is far from over.
Conclusion
Hunter x Hunter is a beloved manga series that has been on hiatus for several years. Fans have been eagerly waiting for its return, and it was announced that the series would return on October 23, 2022. There is currently no information about what Chapter 401 may be about, but fans are excited to see what Togashi has in store for them.
